Abstract:

IRC botnet can be regarded as a collection of compromised computers under the commandandcontrol infrastructure constructed by the IRC server. Since both the botnet and the IP are dynamic, the measure of botnet’s size is difficult. The paper removes the duplicated and dynamic IP to estimate the size of the botnet. Experiments are carried out for validation purposes.

Key words: botnet;duplicated removal;dynamic IP;size measure
